The Marlies have a 5-2-0-0 record in its past seven games are in first place in the American Hockey League North Division with a 31-17-2-2 record.

D’Amigo, a sixth-round pick by Toronto in the 2009 draft, has 20 points (14 goals-6 assists) and a plus-3 rating in 35 games with the Marlies this season. He got his first taste on NHL action when he was called up to the Toronto Maple Leafs on Dec. 5.

D’Amigo scored a goal and had an assist in 19 games with the Maple Leafs, mainly playing on the fourth line and helping out on the penalty kill. He also had the opportunity to play in the Winter Classic at the University of Michigan on New Year’s Day against the Detroit Red Wings.

His scoring has picked up since he was sent back to the Marlies on Jan. 13. He had eight points in his first 19 games to start the season, but has 12 points in 16 games since returning from the NHL.
